The Hey to Success. 


In the present day of active competition, business success depends largely upon giving customers 
what they want, as they want it, and when they want it. 


This is always my aim. 


That the effort is appreciated, is indicated by the following unsolicited 


letters, similar to very many received in the regular course of business.

Foreword. 


This Catalogue contains a very complete selection of the most desirable Trees, Shrubs and hardy 
Plants in all departments. As both the botanical and common names of the varieties are arranged 
in alphabetical order, and the sizes indicated, with a complete index on Pages 87 and 88, the catalogue 
may be found convenient for ready reference. 

AS NOW CONDUCTED and with the present facilities of my business, I am enabled to furnish 
the very best nursery stock obtainable, in far greater variety than is possible in “picking out” the ma- 
terial in any one nursery or from several nurseries. It is now no longer necessary or advantageous to 
“look around” in procuring satisfactory nursery stock any more than it is to inspect seed farms 
in obtaining reliable seeds. With my system of direct importations from carefully selected stock 
in Europe, and contracts for growing and special selection with many of the best growers in this 
country, almost all varieties of Trees and hardy Plants of reliable quality, quantity, and condition are 
furnished at lowest current prices. Every facility is offered of a well established and well organized 
business, with abundant responsibility. 

SAMPLES provide an effective and inexpensive way of judging of the quality and value of stock, 
and where furnished with guarantee that the stock shall be of equal quality, are more reliable than 
the much more costly methods of looking over the same material in nursery rows. Samples are sub- 
mitted or inspection invited where there is any question as to the quality of stock desired. 

SPECIALTIES: SprcimeNs OF ALL KINDS, and Boxwoop Encinc for the most effective planting 
of Formal Gardens; IRONCLAD Harpy RHODODENDRONS, R. Maximum and Katmia Latiroria, grand 
plants, in carload lots; BEAutIFUL Harpy AZzALEas; Rep LEAVED JAPANESE MAPLES; SPECIAL COLLEC- 
TIONS OF THE BEST SHRUBS AND Harpy Roses. LaArce Size STREET and AVENUE TREES, 2 to 6” caliper, 
several times transplanted for immediate effect; and TRAINED Fruit TREES and ForEIGN GRAPE VINES 
for Walls, Trellises, and Fruit Houses. 

PARTICULAR ATTENTION is given to furnishing large lists and large quantities at lowest 
wholesale prices. 

THE QUALITY of all stock is a matter of first consideration. Much care is exercised in having 
all material properly grown and transplanted, and the digging and packing done under the most ap- 
proved methods to insure the arrival of the stock in perfect condition. 

PRICES are of F. O. B. New York, and stock is forwarded under the low Trunk Line classifi- 
cation rates; or if by express at 20% discount from schedule express rates. On stock furnished at 
special net prices and in carload lots, freight charges follow from point of shipment. 


PACKING. There is no charge for labor and cost of packing excepting the customary charge 
of the actual cost of boxes or bales necessary in protecting the stock in the best possible condition. 


SHIPMENTS are made when the stock is in best condition for removal, usually during March 
and April in spring; October and November in autumn. Most Deciduous Trees, Shrubs and Herbac- 
eous plants, succeed well in either season. Evergreens as a rule are better moved in spring. 

THE SUCCESS in transplanting depends on the treatment given hardy Trees and Plants when 
received, as much as upon the quality of the stock. Over this treatment the Establishment furnishing 
the material has no control. For this reason arbitrary claims for deductions on account of losses 
from defective treatment cannot be allowed. All stock is carefully graded and put up in good condi- 
tion for successful transplanting, and if properly cared for on arrival little or no loss should result. 
Should unaccountable losses occur, an equitable arrangement as to replacing, or other adjustment, 
fair to both parties, will, if advised promptly, always be made. 

LANDSCAPE PLANS. In the proper treatment of all ornamental grounds carefully considered 
landscape plans are as important as are architects’ plans in building construction; and grievous mis- 
takes—costly to remedy in future—are thus frequently avoided. The best results usually obtain where 
competent men are employed for this work. Being conversant with the best examples of landscape 
treatment in this country and in Europe, I am always glad to advise regarding competent specialists 
for this work and these improvements, without charge, and when desired arrange for efficient land- 
scape work with the furnishing of requisite planting material at reasonable cost. 

GARDENERS’ POSITIONS. I have always on my books a list of competent superintendents, 
head-gardeners, and assistant gardeners, such as can be recommended as reliable and trustworthy for 
filling these positions satisfactorily. There is no charge for registering or for this service. The pleas- 
ure or satisfaction from a country estate depends largely upon loyal, competent service in the garden- 


ing department.

rates per 100. 


ACER JAPONICUM. Japanese Maple 
(IV). 


These beautiful small trees have been one of 
my specialties for many years. Though classed 
as trees, their dwarf habit makes them more ef- 
fective when grouped, or massed in borders, and 
treated as hardy shrubs. For forming perma- 
nent beds of color and delicate foliage, they are 
unsurpassed. When grown in groups or bor- 
ders, planted three to five feet apart, they give 
one of the most beautiful results in foliage ef- 
fect possible in the use of hardy stock. 

The principal varieties as described below 
have proven hardy and are easily grown. The 
crimson red foliage of the Atropurpureum, 
Sanguineum and Ornatum varieties is particu- 
larly striking and beautiful, and wonderfully 
effective either in specimens or groups. 

To meet the demand for assortments of the 


best varieties of these hardy Japanese Maples, 
case collections are furnished of fine plants; 
especially selected for group and border plant- 
ing, and of the choicest hardy kinds, both for 
immediate and permanent effects.

prising a full assortment of the choicest hardy 
varieties, extra, $125; selected, $100; first size,

LARGE TREES. 


Tue Loss or TIME equivalent to several seasons’ growth, may be avoided by the use of the 


large sized trees, or extra large specimens. 


WELL Roorep, vigorous trees of the leading varieties from 2 in. up to 5 in. in diameter of 
trunk are supplied by the dozen, hundred or in carload lots at reasonable prices. 


__For Movinc extra specimen trees from 5 in. to 15 in. in diameter the trees should be moved 
with ball, and the work undertaken during the winter, when the earth is frozen and more firmly at- 


tached to the fibrous roots. 


From AN EXTENDED OBSERVATION and experience with these large trees, it remains an undeter- 
mined question whether the results are, on the average, such as to warrant the great expense in- 


volved in properly doing the work. 


For THIS REASON, trees of the usual size, from 10 to 15 feet; or not above 4 to 6 inch di- 
ameter of stem are, for all lawn, street, or park planting, recommended.

advantage of having the material at hand as required during the planting season. 

From 4,000 to 6,000 trees can be advantageously planted per acre with rows 4 to 6 feet apart. 

Tue Stock Nortep BeELow is all nursery grown, once or twice transplanted, and can there- 
fore be put out with very little, if any loss, and but little expense or labor in keeping trees in vigo- 
rous growth and condition. 

Tue Best Sizes of deciduous trees for nursery planting are 2 to 3, 3 to 4 and 4 to 6 feet. 

Tue FoLttowine are the varieties recommended and can be furnished at $50.00, $75.00 and

CATAWBIENSE HYBRIDA. Harpy Hysrin RHODODENDRON (II). 

For many years these fine hardy Rhododendrons have been one of my leading specialities. The 
universal success with the many thousands of these plants supplied by me for the various country 
seats and other private and public grounds attest the quality and reliability of this stock. 


My plants are exceptionally well grown, several times transplanted, bushy, budded, well fur- 
nished, and in every way desirable for immediate effect. 


Great care has been exercised in including only such varieties as may be classed as absolutely 
hardy in the Central and Northern States; and in the severe climate of New -England these tested 
varieties of “ironclad” hardiness succeed with ordinary treatment. 


Planted in masses, groups or borders, these beautiful Shrubs are incomparably fine, excelling in 
beauty when in flower and foliage almost any other hardy Shrub or Plant known. The massive 
heads of bloom of the most beautiful colors, are always a striking and beautiful object in lawn and 
landscape. 


For the more perfect development of the plants a partially shaded situation is preferable, although 
success obtains when planted in the open ground, especially if properly mulched to prevent drying in 
summer and cold and drought in winter. And good, loamy soil, moderately enriched with fibrous 
material or well rotted cow manure, or well rotted sod, is best suited to the growth of the plants. 
A few evergreen boughs placed around the plants, sufficient to keep off the sun and wind in winter 
are advantageous. 


The seed pods should always be removed after flowering to insure better bloom the following 
‘season. 

The best efforts are produced by close planting 
‘securing a solid mass of flower and foliage. 

In ‘arranging the larger native Rhododendrons (R Maximum) as a background, these hardy named 
varieties produce a beautiful and striking effect planted in front toward the grass border. 


My stock of these really hardy Rhododendrons, both as to quality and quantity is, I believe, un- 
surpassed. They are both the cheapest and best. There is no experiment in planting them. Every 
plant will grow and bloom well the first season. 


Many foreign plants sold in this country, owing to lack of hardiness, are almost worthless, and of 
the thousands of such plants sent out every year but few survive the first winter following. But few 
European grown Rhodendrons outside of the British Isles are of much value for planting in the 
‘Central, Middle or New England States. 


THE CASE COLLECTIONS OF 25, 50 AND I00 PLANTS, each case as furnished heretofore, can be relied 
upon to give excellent satisfaction. The assortment of varieties and colors is made with the view of 
obtaining the best effects for the number of plants in each case. These cases of 25, 50 and 100 plants 
are furnished uniformly at the wholesale price, or hundred price, as quoted.

foliage of the Rhododendron is desired the 
hardy Catawbiense Seedling Rhododendrons 
are used to excellent advantage. These plants 
are grown from the hardiest strain of the 
Catawbiense varieties, and are recommended as 
likely to give excellent satisfaction. The plants 
are well grown and frequently transplanted, 
which insure safe shipment and _ successful 
planting at any time during the season,— 
spring planting being preferable. Prices for 
these fine hardy Seedling Rhododendrons, 12 
to 18 inches, 18 to 24 inches, 2 to 3 feet, 
$40, $60, $80, and $100 per hundred. The 
larger sizes are well budded for immediate effect. 
Smaller transplanting plants, suitable for plant- 
ing in nursery rows, 6 to 12 inches $75 to $150 
per thousand. 

MAXIMUM. (1). This native species of the 
hardy Rhododendron is incomparably fine and 
particularly valuable for mass groupings for 
immediate effect. The large, long, dark, glossy 
green foliage, and bold, dense clusters of the 
most beautiful lavender or pink tinted blossoms 
in mid-summer produce the most striking and 
beautiful effects the first season. 

The species being indigenous in the coldest 
sections of the United States gives the plants 
an absolute hardiness not excelled by any of the 
other ornamental Shrubs; and when grown in 
good soil in the open and properly pruned or 
headed back, the plants form great masses of 


foliage of uniform outline, and not infrequently 
as broad as high. 


Each of these plants being moved with a 
compact ball of earth, there is little or no risk in 
transplanting or in shipping in carload lots to 
any part of the country; and the very low price 
at which I am now furnishing this stock is an 
inducement for even a more extended demand 
of this material in future than I have supplied 
in the recent past. Anticipating this demand I 
am prepared to furnish any number of carloads 
of the very finest quality of selected plants, 
such as above described, and at exceptionally 
low prices. 


The size of the plant varies from about 2 feet 
up to 6 or & feet; all compact, well furnished, 
beautifully budded, and packed in cars in best 
possible condition. 

Price for these specimen plants is from $100 
to $200 per car net, not including freight, ac- 
cording to the size and perfectness of the speci- 
mens. Ordinary plants as frequently furnished 
from the native woods can be supplied at even 
less price, but in comparison as to real value or 
planting effects, the finer specimens above de- 
scribed are by far the cheapest and best. 


PONTICUM. (II). This half hardy species is 


grown largely in southern Europe and is well 
suited for planting in California or the middle 
Southern States, but is not sufficiently hardy 
for safe planting in the Central or Northern 
States. Bushy, well budded plants, from 1 to 
3 feet, $25 to $100 per hundred. 


Specimens for Formal 
Gardens. 


Tue Format or ITALIAN GARDEN is becoming a feature in much of the best landscape work in 


this country. This style of gardening with its trimmed trees and shrubs of clipped form, adds a 
unique attraction to many country estates. 


To Meer the rapidly increasing demand for these trained specimens for formal planting I have 
unsurpassed facilities for furnishing selections of the different varieties and sizes from my own direct 
importations of carefully selected stock from the best in Europe, and at very reasonable prices. Many 
of these specimen trees and plants are of exceptional size and quality, and are not only the largest 
and finest obtainable but cannot be duplicated or replaced. 


Att Tuis Stock is grown and shipped eitheT in suitable boxes or tubs, or with solid compact 
balls of earth about the roots, thus avoiding practically all risk. in safe shipment to any part of the 
country, or in transplanting. The selection consists of compact, well grown specimens as noted below. 
Other varieties can also be supplied. 

THESE TRAINED SPECIMENS are not ordinarily kept in stock here. 
entered in advance of the shipping season if possible. 


PHOTOGRAPHS with prices and other particulars will be furnished on application. Descriptions of 
the varieties will be found under their respective headings.

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS OF HARDY SHRUBS. 


WHERE IMMEDIATE EFFECT in Shrub groupings and borders is desired, collections of the Hardy 


Shrubs are most effective. 


In ARRANGING the larger growing varietieties as a background, or in the center of groupings, 
and the smaller varieties toward the borders or edges, the relative proportion in growth is main- 
tained and harmonious proportion in all informal plantings is effectively accomplished. 


THE FOLLOWING COLLECTIONS comprise all the best hardy varieties of Deciduous Shrubs, both in 
flower and foliage, and give a succession of bloom from the early blossoms of the CyponiAs, For- 
sytHias and Lizacs in April to the late blooming Hypranceas and Hisrscus in autumn. 


Tur PLANts are well rooted and well furnished and all are perfectly hardy, nicely branched and 


of selected sizes for immediate effect.

Roses. 


Tue EvoLution IN Roses has resulted in qualities nearer perfection than has heretofore ob- 
tained. The principle of the survival of the fittest has been continuously applied. The many valu- 
able new varieties, resulting from almost unlimited hybridization, have greatly improved both the qual- 
ity and variety. Progress has been made in every direction. There is now a greater demand for 
choice Roses, both for planting in the open ground and for forcing, than ever before. 

In OrpErR To Meer Tuts INcrREASED DEMAND, unusual facilities are now offered in supplying 
all of the best Roses of reliable quality and condition; and fine plants in great variety and of var- 
ious sizes are furnished at reasonable prices. 

For CONVENIENT REFERENCE each class of the hardy Roses for bedding purposes and of the 
Roses for forcing are arranged under separate classifications. 

PLANTS ARE FURNISHED on “own roots” or “budded,” grown as the varieties best succeed. 

ALL OF THE Harpy Roses, such as the Hyprip PERPETUAL, CLimpBinGc Roses, Moss Roses, Ruc- 
osAs and WicHURIANA can be advantageously and successfully planted either in autumn or in spring. 
For the EversLoomine Roses spring planting is preferable. 

Aut Rosss, especially the hardy Roses for planting in the open ground, should be closely 
pruned when planted; and all Roses are better both in flower and foliage for close pruning. 

Att Roses require very rich soil, and well repay a careful preparation of the beds and 
borders. 

For IMMEDIATE EFFect large plants of the Cirmpinc Roses, Hyprip PrErpetuALS and TEA 
Roses, grown in pots, are especially recommended. 

ParTICULAR ATTENTION is also called to the Exposition STANDARD Roses, suitable for border- 
ing garden walks and for giving immediate character, planted in beds and borders, to ornamental 
grounds,

Grass Seed. 


Att Grass SEED, whether for LAWNS, GOLF LINKS, FIELD, FARM Or PASTURE purposes, should be 
the best of its kind; thoroughly well cleaned and in perfectly fresh condition when sown. 
_ Iy Orper to Meer tHE INcreasep Demanp for reliable seeds special facilities are offered in 
furnishing the very best mixtures, and all of the staple kinds of seed in any quantities that may be 
desired, and at lowest current prices. 


Mucu Care is exercised in having all seeds pure and fully up to the specified grade, alike as 
to quality and condition. 


SpeciAL FormuLta or Lawn, Gortr Links or Fietp Seeps are furnished at lowest prices. 


LAWN GRASS SEED. 


: In OrdER TO OptaIn A SAtiIsFAcTory Lawn the quality of the seed used is of the greatest 
importance. Even with the most careful preparation of the soil a velvety turf, which is always such 
an attractive object, cannot be secured without clean, sound, germinating seed. 
; Tue Soi should be in good fertile condition, well drained and rolled before and after seed- 
ing, so that an even surface may be secured, and the seed pressed firmly into the ground. 

As a Rute early Spring seeding during March or April and in moist weather is preferable. 

Many Lawns Are InyureED by too close cutting during the summer months; and as a rule too 
frequent cutting is also injurious. 

In Earty Sprine a top dressing or good fertilizer is always beneficial; and a well-established 
lawn well cared for should remain in satisfactory condition for years. 

For New Lawns 5 to 6 bushels of seed per acre are required. In renovating old lawns from I 
to 3 bushels per acre. 

THE FoLtLowINnG CAREFULLY SELECTED MIxtures are made up from pure, fresh seed of the best 
perennial kinds for producing an even, continuous and permanent lawn. 

Cuoice LAwn Grass Seep. A superior mixture, equal to the best grade quoted by some houses. 
$5.75 per bushel of 15 lbs. 

Extra Cuoice Lawn Grass Seep. An extra choice mixture. The very best. $4.50 per bushel. 


Lawn Grass Mrxture ror SHADED Praces. A special mixture for growing under trees or in 
shaded situations. $4.50 per bushel. 


GOLF LINHS GRASS SEED. 


Tue PLeAsure to be derived from a game of golf depends largely upon the quality of the turf on 
the links, etc. Golfers all realize how impossible it is to do themselves justice over a course of poor 
turf. 


A SmoorH AND SprINGy SuRFACE can only be obtained by sowing the proper seed that will give 
the desired results and stand well the wear and tear of constant usage. 

Not INFREQUENTLY by the use of inferior seed or of a mixture unsuited to the native soil a golf 
course presents an unattractive appearance for an entire season. 

Tue Mixture and quality of seed for Putting Greens are also of equal importance. 

Tue Forrowine SpectALLy PrepArep Mrxrures may be relied upon as containing the finest and 
cleanest seeds obtainable for the purposes mentioned, and have given excellent satisfaction wherever 
used: 

Gotr Linxs Mrxture. The best mixture for “Farr GREEN,” OutTLyING Grounns, Poto Grounps, 
etc., $2.50 per bushel of 15 lbs. 

Puttinc Green Mixture. The very best for Putrrnc GREEN, TERRACES AND EMBANKMENTS, $5 
per bushel. 


SpEcIAL FormuLa or Goir Linxs Seep will be quoted on request. 


FIELD, MEADOW AND PASTURE GRASS SEED. 


Nearty ALL or THE Harpy Grasses for field purposes will succeed well sown either in early 
Spring, or in September or early October in Autumn. 


_ Or tHe Many Varieties of these field grasses the selection should be made as adapted to the 
soil, altitude, etc., as the varieties that succeed on high and dry grounds, or sandy soil, are not 
adapted to low grounds where clay or heavy soil predominates. 

From THE Larce NuMBER OF VARIETIES a special mixture of a few of the hardiest and best kinds 
usually gives the best results. 

Tuese SpeciAL Mrxrures ror New Pastures, for RENOVATING O_p Pastures and for Hay and 
PERMANENT Pastures, are furnished at $2.50 and $3 per bushel of 15 Ibs., and at special prices in 
quantity. 

As THE Prices of these field grasses vary, quotation for all the leading kinds, such as BLuE 
Grass, Bent Grass, Fescuz, OrcHArp Grass, TimotHy, Rep and Wuite Ctover, Rep Top, RYE
